An open bore magnetic particle imaging scanner concept for interventional treatments is presented. As a radiation-free method, based on magnetic particle imaging with a field free line, it may potentially help reducing the health risk for medical staff and patients.
Current setup of the scanner device. Additionally a receive coil is inserted with a diameter of 136 mm.
Scanner design with only the drive coils shown. In z-direction an FFL can be seen, which can be guided through the scanner along the symmetric axis. Simulated with software for particle imaging.19
